Lesson Videos

Key Concepts to pay attention to:
  1. Find the amplitude, period, phase shift, and vertical shift (equilibrium)
  2. Use the information from (1) above to write the equation
  3. Sin - start at midline 
                  Cos - starts at top amp   
                  Cos "negative cos" - starts at bottom amp
